The last Railway station of India: About 2 crore people travel by Indian Railways every day. India’s rail network is 68,103 km long. More than 13 thousand trains run on the tracks every day. It passes through thousands of railway stations, Indian Railways’ railway stations have their own stories, but do you know about India’s last railway station?
The name of this last railway station of India adjacent to the Bangladesh border is Singhabad Railway Station. Located in the Habibpur area of Malda district of West Bengal, this railway station is considered to be the last railway station of India, because after this the border of Bangladesh starts.
Built during the British period, this railway station holds historical importance. It played an important role in the relations between India and Bangladesh. Before independence, personalities like Mahatma Gandhi and Subhash Chandra Bose used to pass through this station to go to Dhaka.
But since then the railway station is deserted. Now no train stops here for any passenger. This railway station is now used only for goods trains. Some goods trains run from here to Bangladesh. Now this railway station is used only for trade.
Neither any train stops here nor any passenger arrives, so the platforms of this railway station remain deserted, the ticket counters are also closed. There are only a few railway staff who remain at the station.
